Aspire opens new clinic

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Last month, Aspire Indiana announced that it will open an outpatient clinic at Chaucie’s Place, in Carmel, specifically for the treatnew biz ment of survivors of child sexual abuse. Children, adolescents and adults will be seen at the Chaucie’s Place clinic. “Aspire Indiana is always exploring ways to better serve the community and its mental health needs. We all know that one of the barriers to seeking treatment can be fear … even a fear of an unknown location or unknown people. The Hamilton County community has a high level of trust in Chaucie’s Place, so if we can remove one more barrier to someone getting treatment then we have succeeded in helping more people move through their journey of healing,” said President C. Richard DeHaven. The clinic will be staffed by a licensed mentalhealth social worker who is trained in TraumaFocused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a therapy model that is research-based and treats the trauma of child sexual abuse, rather than the manifestations of that trauma, like depression or

anxiety. “We work every day to prevent child sexual abuse and youth suicide. Aspire Indiana providing counseling to survivors of child sexual abuse at our facility will be a powerful blow to both epidemics in our community,” said Toby Stark, Chaucie’s Place executive director. “For years we have gotten calls from survivors in our community looking for counseling specifically for their mental health needs … today they now have a caring place to go.” This will be the third outpatient location for Aspire Indiana, but the first of its kind in the state. “This is very significant,” Stark said. “This therapist is specifically trained to help heal these survivors…. We know that there is no other place doing this for children or adult survivors.” Stark said that most counseling centers focus on helping the depression or anxiety that is a result of childhood sexual abuse, but that they don’t get “at the heart” of the problem. “Getting down to the root of it all, that’s such an important part of recovering,” she said. “So this is very innovative.” Chaucie’s Place is located in Carmel. To book an appointment, call Aspire Indiana at 1-877-574-1254 or visit www.aspireindiana.org.

Pedcor wants Shapiro’s building

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

A deal might be considered soon for the former Shapiro’s Delicatessen on Range Line Road. And one of the bids redevelopment ceived is from Pedcor, the company behind many of the city’s strategic developments, such as Carmel City Center and the Indiana Design Center. Pedcor is considering a bid of $2.1 million for the building with $1 million of that in debt relief and the rest of the bid in cash. A second bidder, which was not identified, placed a similar bid but in all cash. It wasn’t revealed which tenants could be expected. Previously, the Carmel Redevelopment Commission bought the Carmel City Center parking garage from Pedcor for $22.5 million, although according to documents provided by the clerktreasurer it is currently valued by the CRC at $13.8 million. The CRC is making payments on this debt, which has raised some heated discussion at City Council meetings. Since she took the position this year, CRC Director Corrie Meyer has said she has been working diligently on a deal for Shaprio’s. When the deli was struggling, Carmel agreed to help pay property taxes on the space and the CRC eventually bought out Shapiro’s nearly $2.5 million mortgage in 2010. From then on, Shapiro’s paid the CRC rent of $1,000 a month, until payments weren’t being received and the business left. Now the CRC would like to sell the building to help pay for new projects. “They’ll have to make a decision and decide which offer they want to accept,” Mayor Jim Brainard said.

The old Shapiro’s building may be purchased by Pedcor for $2.1 million (Submitted photo)

One factor to consider would be which developer would turn the location into the most appealing property that fits into Carmel’s image and strategic plan. Brainard has said that it’s important to take this key piece of real estate and find a use that benefits Carmel’s citizens. Another factor is the need for cash. “I’ve told Corrie Meyer, ‘If Pedcor buys this building, I want to see them buy it in cash,’” City Councilor Luci Snyder said. “I don’t want services rendered. I don’t want a property swap. I want cash.” City Council President Eric Seidensticker said it’s premature to say which offer is better until he has a chance to look at them, but he said there’s a good chance that cash might be the better immediate option. “From what I hear, I think the CRC needs cash right now,” he said.

Roadwork to begin on Main Street By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

With soon-to-be-complete construction work on U.S. 31, Carmel planners expect increased traffic to businesses in the the commute coming months. As a result, Carmel announced plans to redevelop Main Street near the U.S. 31 interchange, with a $4.4 million project that boasts additional lanes, enhanced roundabouts and new sidewalks. Preliminary work has begun with the real construction to start in the fall. The Main Street roundabouts at Illinois and Old Meridian also will be expanded to allow for two lanes of traffic. The project also calls for new utility lines, curbs, gutters and storm sewers. “This is a rapidly changing area and this project is designed to improve the infrastructure needed to handle what we predict will be a much higher volume of traffic,” City Engineer Jeremy Kashman said. Although some might be concerned about beginning new roadwork near U.S. 31 before the other construction is complete, Mayor Jim Brainard said this timeline is the best way to ease

Make Wellbrooke Your First Step To Returning Home

any pain. “It really shouldn’t affect it because it’s closed anyway,” he said. “We need to get it fixed for the long-term good and those businesses on Main Street are going to see huge increases in driveby traffic.” City councilors told Current they agree with the mayor. While construction has hurt some businesses – necessitating a #31 Bites campaign aimed at helping struggling restaurants most affected – city officials say that construction is often a tough reality when growing a city. Brainard said the good news is that this construction won’t affect the city’s budget much at all. This project is being funded primarily by $4.2 million in state funds made available by the Indiana Department of Transportation as part of a program that allows Indiana to trade $1 in federal funds for 75 cents in state funds. This allows Carmel to begin on the project without delays and be reimbursed by INDOT without waiting for often-delayed federal funding. Existing Engineering Dept. funds and other funding sources will pay for the remaining portion.

The Urban Forestry Committee is hoping residents will help save more trees. (Photo by Kevin Daugherty)

Forestry group asks for help

Commentary by Kevin Daugherty, a member of the Carmel Urban Forestry Committee While it might seem like a contradiction in terms, Carmel does have an urban forest. This forest is comprised of all nature the street trees, parks trees, designated forest preservation areas in some subdivisions; as well as the landscape trees at homes, churches, schools, and businesses. The Carmel urban forest is an ecosystem which bestows enormous benefits to the citizens of Carmel. It removes carbon dioxide while producing oxygen; it filters dust particles out of the air, reduces storm water runoff during heavy rains, and cools the air and shades the hard surfaces on a sunny day. Like any ecosystem, it is made up of a variety of flora and fauna (plants and animals). Like the rural forests of the Midwest, a good portion of our urban forest is ash trees. The ash tree has come under attack by the Emerald Ash Borer. It is estimated that we have lost more than half of our ash trees. You may have spotted a dead

ash along the road on a neighbor’s yard. Once the tree looks like the one pictured here, it is a goner. But don’t despair, Carmel is a Tree City USA and has a caring and conscientious urban forestry program within the Department of Community Services. With the urban forestry staff looking out for the health and maintenance of this city asset, Carmel will not become a desert. It also has a small group of caring citizens who make up the Urban Forestry Committee; appointed by Mayor Jim Brainard. As dead ash trees are being removed, new trees are being planted. In the last five years, in spring and fall plantings, the forestry staff and city contractors have managed to plant nearly 2,900 trees in the public spaces. “Carmel prides itself on its attention to green space and our environment. There is more than simply beauty and shade to a tree-lined street. We realize the important role trees play in cleaning our air, conserving soil and adding beauty and charm to our community by greatly enhancing our quality of life,” Brainard said.

School board recap

Compiled by Amanda Foust

What happened: Discussion asking to advertise for a public hearing concerning the 2015 budgets, the three-year capital projects fund plan and the 12-year bus replacement plan. What it means: This is authorization for a public hearing in order to receive public discussion and feedback. Board requested to ask questions at the public hearing as well.

What’s next: This was approved and the public hearing will be on Oct. 13.

What happened: The board recommended the approval of refinancing the First Mortgage Refunding Bonds, Series 2005. What it means: There are only three and a half years left to pay these bonds, which decreases the current interest level from 4.78 percent down to .44 percent, saving the tax payer $518,000 if refinancing is approved. The goal is to save taxpayers money and not to spend the saved bond money elsewhere. It is important to finalize the approval quickly because the decision needs to be made by Oct. 10.

What’s next: Approved and no further action needed.

Are class sizes too big?

By Amanda Foust • news@currentcarmel.com

Growth in Carmel has some parents worried ... about class sizes, that is. One mother of a CarEducation mel student, Fane Benedetti, reached out to Current about her concerns as a result of the Carmel Clay School board’s decision to not redistrict this year. She shared that her son is currently in a challenge program at Carmel Elementary consisting of 30 students with one teacher. She has also heard of 50 students in a challenge class at College Wood with two teachers in that classroom. Benedetti said: “I am concerned because this is a lot of kids and I believe [my son] will do better with less kids in the classroom.” When Current reached out to the board about this, assistant to the superintendent Dana Kendall stated the school corporation’s response in an e-mail. “The numbers of students in the challenge classes at College Wood and Carmel Elementary are not due to overcrowding in these two schools but rather the number of students at these two schools who qualify for challenge,” Kendall wrote on behalf of the school. Kendall went on to state that the current teaching model for the large class sizes has, in fact, been effective and meets the needs of the

students. Three years ago, the Benedetti family was one of many which were redistricted, and Benedetti remembers the time being very contentious among Carmel residents. She remembers the goal was to be able to move the kids from the west side of the schools to the east side as a result of more availability. “I’m concerned about Carmel Elementary, because we are in the middle [of Carmel] and a smaller school,” she said. As a result of the larger classes being challenge classes, she is also concerned that the classroom sizes are limiting the number of students who would have otherwise qualified for the challenge classes had there been more room and accommodation. “We do not limit the number of students in the challenge classes. If the student qualifies for the challenge class, then the student has the opportunity to be served in a challenge class,” Kendall stated, however she would not confirm nor deny that fact that the class sizes were too large. “Our teachers are great and they always do their best but I am wondering how far they can stretch it. How long before it is not so great?” Benedetti said. Current wants to know: Do you think class sizes are too big? Email news@currentincarmel. com with your thoughts.

What books have you read in the last six months? “This summer I read ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ which is by an Indiana author, John Green. And I read ‘The Book Thief’ I enjoyed that one a great deal. Then I just finished reading ‘Gone Girl.’” What movies have you seen recently? “The most recent movie I’ve watched was ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ which was made in 1962. An old movie, kind of a classic. A mystery story.” What is one of the most fun things you’ve done? “I was a student in Paris. A friend of mine, who was also an American student, wanted to go

to Corsica (an island in the Mediterranean) for spring break. So we had a tent, two backpacks, two bicycles and that was it. And we biked and camped for 10 days. We biked our way around the entire perimeter of the island. It was such an adventure. Unlike anything I’d done before or since.” What do you like most about your community? “I feel very safe and just comfortable. And I don’t mean just crime level, I mean the people are nice and friendly. It’s a great place to raise a family. There are lots of things to do.

Carmel girl wins national honor

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

For two Hamilton County teens, their involvement on the local sports level led to national honors recently at the achievement Special Olympics National Youth Summit. Mitch Bonar is a senior at Noblesville High School while Abby Abel is a senior at at Carmel High School. They met through the Champions Together program. The Partnership between the IHSAA and Special Olympics Indiana started in December 2012. Bonar – who is a Special Olympics athlete – and Abel – a girl’s basketball player - gathered with others with and without intellectual disabilities at the June summit in New Jersey to work to develop leadership skills and discuss ways to ”broaden and enhance Special Olympics and the movement for acceptance and equality for all students.” At the summit, they were chosen to serve on the National Youth Activation Committee (YAC) for Special Olympics. “The committee is highly selective with only 21 members from 14 state stretching from South Carolina to Hawaii,” said Lee Lonzo of the IHSAA.”Mitch and Abby were two of only six selected nationwide for the new ‘class’ of members. They were also the first ever selected from Indiana.”

Lonzo said as members of the committee, Bonar and Abel will not only be able to “share the successes from Indiana with similar groups from other states, but will also be able to learn about successes from other states and bring those ideas back to Indiana.” “I was incredibly excited and wanted to share the news with anyone I could,” Bonar said. “I told my family members and all of my friends. I am the manager on my football team and told all my football buddies and they all gave me huge hugs and high fives! This is an experience only those who have been pushed aside when it comes to athletics can relate to.” Abel said it’s a “great honor to share this with Mitch.” “Both Mitch and I have become amazing friends, and I am so excited for us to share our Champions Together and Unified Track experiences on a national platform,” she said. “I am looking forward to telling others how successful this has become in Indiana –and how students with and without disabilities can truly play sports together.” Now the teens plan to work on expanding the Champions Together program by recruiting more students at more schools to become involved. “They have set very specific goals as to what they hope to accomplish in each of the ‘pillar’ areas of the program,” Lonzo said.

KAR raises more than $130k news@currentincarmel.com

Carmel-based KAR Auction Services, Inc., a provider of used vehicle auction services, announced last week philanthropy the the company’s team raised more than $130,000 for the Indiana Tour de Cure 2014, and was named the top corporate fundraiser in Indiana and in the nation. KAR Auction Services CEO Jim Hallett made the announcement. Team KAR, which was comprised of 19 volunteers from the KAR group of companies, rode

together at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on June 21 after raising more than $130,000 for the cause. The team, led by Executive Vice President of Corporate Development and Real Estate Warren Byrd, surpassed their fundraising goal and beat last year’s amount of $54,000 to become the top team in Indiana, and the top single-site team in the nation as of August 2014. Team KAR’s contribution is in addition to Hallett’s individual fundraising total of more than $110,000, which earned him recognition as the top individual fundraiser in the nation.

There are at least 300 of them out there. Over a 20-year period, 300 of our wide-eyed high school students volunteerism have accepted her gift, most likely not fully appreciating the life-changing significance of the opportunity. For 20 years, Barb Moshier has served as Carmel’s own version of secretary of state, shuttling back and forth between Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan, and Carmel. For 20 years she has held the title of President of Sister Cities, Inc. This is the organization, which fosters a relationship between Carmel and Kawachinagano. Sister Cities, Inc., was created to promote peace through people-to-people relationships. An affiliation which offers the flexibility to allow connections to form between communities that are mutually beneficial and to take on issues that are most relevant to the partners. Moshier has taken 16 trips to Carmel’s sister city and hosted almost as many contingents visiting here. When asked what she gets out of the exchange, she said, “Each trip I take, I am still just as speechless as the first time. I still worry about the food and the language, but then realize we are really all so much alike. It is a great honor to build an international relationship.” Friendship is actually what describes how our two cities interact with each other. During a re-

cent visit to Carmel by a contingent of business representatives from Kawachinagano which also coincided with the 20th anniversary of the connection, the deep respect and appreciation for each other was obvious. Stories about the 20-year history and how the two communities are able to learn from each other were shared all around. Although there are no roundabouts in Kawachinagano yet, the visitors know every detail of how to create one. Sharing ideas from city department heads between the two cities has been beneficial to both sides. And, in the true spirit of shuttle diplomacy, Barb has even attended the wedding in Japan of a Sister City peer. On the South side of City Hall, a lasting symbol of the relationship is enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. There a traditional Japanese Garden complete with a KOI pond can be found. At the entrance, is a carved wood gate made and installed by residents of our Sister City, Kawachinagano. Moshier should take great pride in her 20 years of service, fostering this relationship which cannot be held back by an ocean. Good day, Carmel.

said there were only a few tenants that expressed disappointment that their property owners agreed to sell, but for the most part, business owners were already looking to relocate or retire. “Just by coincidence, a lot of these pieces fell into place, so it should be pretty smooth,” he said. “But I want to emphasize that Miller is not going away.” One of the issues that will likely be debated is the construction of a parking garage to support the large influx of new workers. Moffett said he will look to secure a bond to pay for construction and will likely ask to use tax increment financing to repay the bond. He would probably ask for 75 percent of the TIF revenue and the city would receive the rest, similar to previous deals approved for The District, a development near the Old Meridian roundabout. Moffett said he would back the bond and the city would not be at risk. Moffett wants to begin construction with the northern most building first – at a cost of $15 million – and it would include office space and what he calls select retail. If all goes according to Moffett’s plan, then Old Town Design Group would move its headquarters to this building and between the building and the Monon Trail there would be a public square that could be used for live music and events. Old Town Design Group will file the project as a planned unit development this week in order to help clear up any zoning inconsistencies, but Moffett said the area will fit into current zoning requirements. Work will be done on 4th Street southwest to create an easy access point and ensure proper traffic flow. Moffett said homes in the area will likely appeal to an “empty nester” demographic that wants to live close to the action without dealing with a large yard. He said architecture will build off of his past Old Town designs and the area’s industrial history, as opposed to the Georgian architecture that characterizes the City Center. Moffett said he has been talking to Pedcor to make sure their architecture compliments their development to the west. Some retail could be incorporated in the space – eateries and some storefronts – but Moffett said it won’t be similar to the its restaurants in the Arts & Design District or City Center.

Old Town Design Group will be the first developer to begin work on long-anticipated project By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Growing up in Carmel, Justin Moffett used to ride his bike through the city’s old industrial area. Now, the area is full cover story of vacant buildings and lots on both sides of the Monon Trail. The old grain elevator has been torn down and the area feels empty. Right between Carmel’s vibrant areas – Carmel City Center and the Arts & Design District – sits a rather dull Moffett stretch of pathways. But now Moffett will be the first developer to begin to revitalize the area. His Old Town Design Group revealed plans and drawings on Monday for phase I of the Midtown Plan, a project that Mayor Jim Brainard has been advocating for years. “This is not only a business decision, but it’s also a passion of mine to be involved in this area’s renaissance,” Moffett said. “I have a lot of fond memories riding my bike through this area and we hope to honor its industrial past while revitalizing it for the future.” Moffett’s plan is expected to be the first domino to fall in a $100-million-plus plan that also involves Pedcor, a prominent developer responsible for the City Center and the Indiana Design Center. Public infrastructure improvements – including expanding the Monon Trail to two lanes – will come in time. Old Town Design Group announced it will construct at least eight buildings on 11 acres, creating more than 200,000 square feet of new office space and 250 to 270 residential units. This means at least 800 to 1,000 office workers and 300 to 400 construction jobs. When complete, the overall value could be at least $130 million. Much of the construction could be complete by summer 2016. Most of the space will be dedicated to office space and condominiums that are available for purchase. Moffett said Pedcor is mostly developing rental units in the area and he sees a need for more homes to buy near the hotbed of business and government

activity. Moffett’s developments are situated to the east of the Monon Trail and extend all the way to Range Line Road. Development will stretch from Monon Square Shopping Center to the south all the way to Artist Row Studios to the north. Along Range Line Road, Moffett has secured deals to buy several existing properties to construct his project. Some businesses, such as Miller Auto Care, will relocate to a newer location as a part of his development. He noted other businesses, such as the laundry mat, appeared likely to close at some point regardless. Moffett

• The Midtown Plan is a $100-million project that would connect Carmel City Center with the Carmel Arts & Design District with retail and residences along a remodeled Monon Trail • The project would remove current buildings and make way for office space and apartments.

Who is or is not in favor of this? • Mayor Jim Brainard is in favor of this plan and said: “The public can’t wait to see it.” • City council had not yet seen the plans for Midtown, but council members have said they are unsure. “The tough part is balancing it with the obligations that we have now,” said City Council President Eric Seidensticker.

Tossing icy blanket on ALS challenge

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Water weighs slightly more than eight pounds per gallon. Ice is hard and pointy. As the ice-bucket challenges in support of ALS continue, an interesting insurance point emerges. Current contributor Karl Ahlrichs of Gregory & Appel Insurance reminds us that liability insurance may not cover the ice-bucket dropee (if that’s the proper term) if there are damages and medical bills as a result of the fundraising stunt. It all started innocently enough, with small buckets and big laughs for a good cause. Millions of dollars have been raised, and the take is well more than any annual ALS campaign before it. Still, the “oneupmanship” took over, and the bucket became larger, colder, and potentially more dangerous. Front-end loaders, 100-gallon barrels, airplane drops, etc., all were in the mix. Ahlrichs tells us liability insurance is intended to protect you from unknowingly causing harm, and as a willing participant you may be declined coverage by your insurance carrier when a claim is filed against you. There have been multiple hospitalizations and even more “fail videos” that are evidence that the trend of “bigger, colder and more spectacular” may not end as hoped. Our advice? Participate if you wish, but keep it small, manageable and safe. Or, remember, you always are free to donate to the charity of your choice at any time - with or without ice water. We did it that way. Much drier and far more comfortable that way. ••• We’re happy to welcome Mark Ambrogi of Carmel to the Current Publishing family.

The long and winding road Commentary by Terry Anker Most times, the taxi driver simply ignores his patrons after the short negotiation of place and rate. Too often, once in the car the passenger can expect the driver to take a phone call and shout in some nearly indecipherable foreign tongue, confident in the expectation that the folks in the back seat are both incapable of understanding him and unworthy of his respect. We endure the rudeness, pay the fare and exit the cab never again to interact with this nameless being in whom we’d just entrusted our lives. Perhaps we’d glanced at the face on the license and amused ourselves by attempting to match the name with a country of origin. But is the failure to connect an expected, if not desired, part of the transaction? Have taxis, with thick glass and a rear-facing credit card machine, simply become a mobile ATM? Do we approach, run a card, get our desired outcome and still manage to avoid all human interaction?

Yet, is the alternative of an all-too-engaged service provider preferred? Do we hope to learn the family history of the person taking us to the airport? I tend to pick peace and quiet. He has a job to do and it does not include entertaining me. And, I value a moment to collect my thoughts and prepare for the next meeting. But what are we missing if we fail to connect with others who find their ways, by happenstance or intention, into our lives? What can we learn and what does it matter? If it is impossible to know what lies ahead, then it is equally impossible to prospectively assign value to those we encounter. It is a long and winding road that carries us through life; and it beyond human capacity to determine who might be our guide, or driver, along the way.

Q U O T E   O F  T H E   W E E K The follies which a man most regrets in life are those which he didn’t commit when he had the opportunity.

– Helen Rowland

Sometimes I just don’t want to be needed. Maybe it’s this particular week or maybe it’s that I’m still adjusting to the school routine, but I am literally about to shiv humor the next person who asks for breakfast, a back rub, help with homework, or anything that involves me and/ or my superhuman, Jane-of-all-trades capabilities. Sometimes I just don’t want to be a mom! A large part of this feeling, akin to a juiced lemon that’s not trashed because its rind is a key ingredient in the icing, is the nature of being an educator. Teaching high school math means I’m basically a surrogate parent to 180 of our future leaders. It’s taxing to say the least, especially on tests days when 123 of them realize they have no idea what I’ve been talking about for the last week and they all decide to take advantage of the fact that I am available for help at seven a.m. I’m a good enough actress to proceed with patience, but on the inside, I’m questioning the world’s chance of survival when this lot’s in charge. (Kidding! You’re all brilliant!) So after a day of helping everyone else’s teenagers, I then go home to my own four who’ve been left to their own devices for at least an hour or so. My oldest daughter wants me to listen as she talks stream-of-conscience-like about her day and her emotions and the latest drama. My youngest wants help with spelling and laundry and checking her anole (lizard) for signs of life. My oldest just wants me to take him driving so he can practice his questionable round-about skills while listening to his music and then hopefully convince me to buy him Subway. And my middle son sits so quietly while he plays games on his phone that working-mom guilt compels me to invent tasks with which to help him. Argh! But I don’t really want to do any of these things. I want to go up to my room, close the door, and eat my oatmeal crème pie while vegging out on the latest Drunk History episode. I don’t want to plan dinner or run to the grocery or pick anyone up from [enter your sport here] practice. And I sure as shoot don’t want to play the good wife to my husband, who can often be needier than the kids! “Will you please rub my feet/grab my dry cleaning/watch Top Gear with me?” No! But of course I do. Because that’s what it means to be a spouse, mother, and/or teacher. We answer the call even when we don’t want to. And on that note, I shall leave you. Someone needs me! Peace out.

READERS’ VIEWS Thank you, Greyhound fans

Editor, On behalf of the Carmel High School Men’s Varsity Soccer team, I want to give a shout out to the over 1,700 Greyhound fans who cheered us on to a 2-1 victory over the previously undefeated Fort Wayne Canterbury team in the Make Good Decisions game on Sept. 5 at Murray Stadium. The event was a huge success,with the crowd listening attentively to Mrs. Finbloom and State Senator Merritt at halftime with their message of Make Good Decisions and the Indiana Lifeline Law. Thanks also to Current newspapers, Carmel

Athletics, Mayor Brainard, Youth as Resources, and all of our sponsors and supporters. We want all Indiana students to know about the Indiana Lifeline Law, and how they cannot be arrested for underage drinking if they call 911, stay, and cooperate with emergency responders if they feel anyone is in need of immediate help. In memory of our former teammate Brett Finbloom, we encourage everyone to Make Good Decisions, to make safe choices, and to be a friend to others. Thanks! PJ Gibson, Carmel

Why I’m voting for Ford

You don’t get it

Editor, I am writing in support of JD Ford for State Senate in IN Senate District 29. I met JD last year and am very impressed with him – he is the face of our future. He cares about the people in his district and wants to work to make Indiana a better place for all Hoosiers. He supports early childhood education and fair pay for teachers; he wants to bring more jobs to Indiana; and he supports mass transit and improving public transportation. In addition, he listens to people and takes into consideration the issues that they care about most deeply. IN Senate District 29 needs a breath of fresh air and JD is the person who can best provide that! Annette Gross, 46032

Editor, Too bad you have so little understanding of Liberals. If you did you would have known they oppose inversion. It is more a Conservative idea to shift the tax burden from corporate and wealthy and back on the middle class. Liberals want what is best to move America forward and inversion is not that. After all this country was built by Liberals. Bob Shimer, Carmel

XPECT EXCELLENCE.

Needing another coat Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife and I try as often as possible to engage in snappy repartee, often peppering each other with questions like these: humor Are we better off with stocks or bonds? Should we take social security now, or wait? Do we care if this bread is gluten-free? Actually, those are the kinds of questions my wife might ask me. Here are the most common questions I ask Mary Ellen: Do you know where my coat is? Did you hang up my coat up last night? Was I wearing a coat last night? Nippy temps are around the corner, but this year I plan to face the winter chill without any substantial outerwear whenever possible. It’s not that I’m particularly hardy; I’m simply tired of looking for my coat. I’m going to explain my problem, but you have to read this carefully, or you’ll be lost - like my coat usually is. I never liked wearing winter coats, especially in the car. I don’t want to be all bundled up and feel like the Pillsbury Dough Boy at the wheel. I get too warm when the car heats up, but I can’t undo my buttons or unzip because of the seat belts. Then when I exit the car, I’m soon in a warm place like a movie theater or Lucas Oil Stadium and have to immediately take off my heavy jacket and stuff it under my seat, which is a great way to add mustard stains and

sticky pieces of popcorn to my apparel. I think it’s even crazier for my wife to wear a coat. In the winter, she asks me to warm up the car before we leave the house. Then she asks me to drop her off in front of the restaurant. Then she asks me to pick her up at door. We drive home in a heated car and get out in our heated garage. Why does she need a coat? By the way, this doesn’t apply when Mary Ellen walks the dog or goes out to shovel snow. The reason it doesn’t apply is that she doesn’t do those two things. For many years, this was a typical phone conversation on any given morning: “Hello, I was at your restaurant last night and I may have left my brown winter coat there. Could you please check to see if you have it? “Let me see. We have a pair of reading glasses, an iPhone, and two credit cards. Yes, here’s a brown coat. Didn’t you realize you forgot it, once you got outside and it was bitter cold?” “Have you been talking to my wife? I’ll get the coat tomorrow. I would come by now, but it’s raining.” “Don’t you have an umbrella? It’s been pouring non-stop all week?” “I left it at the Lucas Oil Stadium yesterday.”

My Fair Lady: ‘The perfect musical’ By Joseph Knoop • news@currentzionsville..com

Actors Theatre of Indiana is gearing up for their upcoming production of “My Fair Lady.” The show kicks off the ATI’s 10th antheatre niversary season of Broadway In Your Backyard . Cynthia Collins, co-founder and assistant artistic Director of Actors Theatre of Indiana, plays the role of Mrs. Pearce and Mrs. Eynsford-Hill. “It’s possibly, in my opinion, the perfect musical,” Collins said. My Fair Lady tells the story Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl taking lessons from phoneticist Henry Higgins in order to appear sophisticated. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion,” “My Fair Lady” originally premiered in 1956 on Broadway. Actors Theatre of Indiana is performing the show with a minimal cast of 10 actors, rather than the 30 to 40 typically attributed to large musicals like “My Fair Lady.” Director Richard J Roberts said this will put the show right into the audience’s lap. “It’s a very intimate production,” Roberts said. “It’s the ‘Hamlet’ of musicals.”

The Sept. 21 performance will feature a Talkback immediately following moderated by Indy Star writer Michael Anthony Adams, featuring director, Richard J Roberts, the cast and actress and author Patricia Wilson. Wilson has previously acted in the Tony Award-winning “Fiorello!,” “Take Me Along” with Gene Kelly and “A League of Their Own.” Although Wilson is not involved in the production of “My Fair Lady,” she will be answering questions about the world of theatre, including her 2009 book “Yesterday’s Mashed Potatoes: The Fabulous Life of a Happy Has-Been.” Roberts has experience conducting theater talkbacks for a number of years and enjoys the opportunity to showcase how a production like his comes together. “Even Broadway shows are starting to do them,” Roberts said. “I think people are curious. People want to know how things are done. All kinds of shows on TV show how things are made. It’s fascinating. People think the arts are a foreign, distant world. We’re just people doing stuff.” “My Fair Lady” runs Sept. 17 through 21 and next week from Sept. 24-28. For more informa-

Beginning Oct. 11, the Carmel Symphony Orchestra will begin its 39th concert season. This season, guests of the symMusic phony can look forward to performances from pianist Sean Chen, the Anderson University Choruses, the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, and many more. Led by the acclaimed artistic director and conductor David Bowden, everything from classical masterpieces and familiar pops works will echo through the corridors of Carmel’s Palladium. “We are delighted to present such a variety of performers and musical styles,” Bowden said. “The significant partnerships with regional organizations and the flair and sparkle of world-class guest artists make this an extraordinary season of music from the heart and for the soul.” The season begins with APA Classical Fellow and Van Cliburn medalist Sean Chen in Grieg Piano Concerto with Sean Chen on Oct. 11. The artistry of Chen will be on full display in a performance of Grieg’s familiar Piano Concerto. Tchaikovsky’s powerful Symphony No. 4 combines deep emotion, beautiful melodies, and orchestral virtuosity with a thrilling conclusion. “It will be remarkable,” Bowden said. “It will be beyond incredible.” The Nov. 8 concert, Beethoven’s Fifth, features the composer’s much-loved symphony that be-

gins with arguably the most famous four notes in the entire symphonic repertoire. The orchestra is joined by the Anderson University Choruses for Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living, a profoundly moving expression of solace, hope, and ultimately, peace, conveying great comfort for all who have experienced loss, which Bowden said has already had a very emotional impact on him. Beethoven’s Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus opens this compelling program. To read a full listing of the season’s lineup, visit www.currentincarmel.com. Season subscriptions are available by calling the Carmel Symphony at 844-9717. Single tickets can be purchased beginning by visiting TheCenterPresents.org or by calling the Center’s Box Office at 843-3800.

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

“Our director Carlos first saw it in New York and he fell in love with it,” Phipps said. “And a funny anecdotal fact is that this was first performed by the Roundabout Theatre Company.” The show runs 90 minutes, with an intermission. Phipps said most of the show is music. “It’s more than an hour of just music,” he said.

A new musical by Adam Gwon, with direction by Carlo Nepomuceno, Ordinary Days, is an honest and funny musical that tells the THEATRE story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love and cabs. The characters of Claire, Jason, Warren, and Deb explore how their ordinary lives connect in the most amazing ways. Rich Phipps, who is producing the show for the Carmel Community Players, said that this is the Indiana premiere of this show, which was NOVEMBER 28in- London DECEMBER 2014 first on Broadway in 2008, 14, and then off-Broadway in New York City in 2009.

Gee’s music fest set for Sept. 20

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Jon E. Gee has been fortunate to work enough to work with several top performers, John Mellencamp, Ted Nugent and music Rare Earth. To help give back, Gee, who owns Jon E. Gee’s Music Room, runs Jon E. Gee’s Autumn Music Fest, which will be held for the second time on Sept. 20 at the parking lot of his business, 13295 Illinois St., Carmel. The festival supports Jon E. Gee’s Gift of Music Foundation. Sondra Gunnell, Jon’s wife and also known as Mrs. Gee, said helping support school music programs, which have faced cutbacks in recent years, is the main focus of the foundation. “We also support other music charities as well as we give scholarship monies to students of all ages to get music lessons,” Gunnell said. “Those are the primary things we do with the Gift of Music.” The Music Fest features 10 groups or acts. All are students or proteges of Gee. “Each one of these acts want to be at the next level and we are basically helping them get there,” Gunnell said. “Three of them have their own CDs that John E. Gee has helped them produce, promote and advise on in some fashion or shape.” The Music Fest will begin at 2 p.m. and conclude at 10 p.m.

A SEPTEMBER NOT TO MISS!

Ten acts will perform at music fest. (Submitted photo)

The four headliners are Aaron Creek, Infamous, J.J. Browning Project and Awake The Wilde. “Jon E. has shown them all how to perform on the big stage, sharing his expertise,” Gunnell said. There will be food trucks, arts and crafts vendors and a silent auction. The auction includes signed electric guitars from Mellencamp and Nugent. “There will be no alcohol, it’s a family friendly event,” Gunnell said. “People can bring lawn chairs and blankets.” General admission tickets are free but donations are accepted. VIP donation tickets are available on the website, www.jonegeesmusicroom.com

A new dessert with Colombian flair

This week my family was craving for something sweet to eat, but, it needed to be easy and quick to make. Looking in our kitchen we found THREE ingredients: shredded coconut, eggs and brown sugar; perfect for Cocadas! These little delights are very popular in Latin America and are a relative of the Macaroon cookies. This kid-friendly baking recipe will bring out smiles and will be a favorite treat in your family as its in ours. Note: Cocadas is a great recipe for school bake sale since it doesn’t require sophisticated baking. COCADAS Prep: 10 minutes / Cook: 15 minutes - Serves: 24 cookies

Ingredients: • 2 cups shredded dried unsweetened coconut • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 2 large egg whites • 1 teaspoon cardamon (optional) • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (optional) Directions: 1. Heat the oven to 350F. Put the coconut in a bowl, cover with boiling water and steep for 10 minutes. Drain, cool, and squeeze dry. 2. In a big bowl put the coconut, sugar, salt and cardamon, mix well. In another bowl beat the eggs until just frothy, then add to the mixture and combine well. 3. Using a spoon form balls about 1 1/2-inch and place on parchment lined baking sheet, leaving one-inch space between them. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden. Let them cool. Store in airtight container for up to one week.

Ocean Prime: Steaks, seafood and more By Julie Osborne and Debbie Robertson news@currentinwestfield.com At Ocean Prime, it begins with its motto, “The answer is ‘Yes’, now what’s your question?” The staff takes the word service seridining ously starting in the kitchen with Executive Chef Shawn O’Brien. O’Brien believes in leading by example, working side by side with his team, even doing the dirty work and often being the last to leave after a 12-hour shift. O’Brien’s love for food and cooking began as a child helping his mother and grandmother prepare potluck dishes for church pitch-ins. His future career as an executive chef was nearly hijacked by an accounting degree, however, his desire to prepare food outweighed his desire to prepare balance sheets. Soon after his enrollment at Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, he began working at Mitchell’s Fish Market in Pittsburgh and later in the Cameron Mitchell family of restaurants in Columbus, Phoenix, and Orlando before being named executive chef of Ocean Prime Indianapolis with its opening in June 2012. Chef’s Tip: “Fresh and from scratch” is what O’Brien believes is key to the best outcome. There’s no substitute for utilizing the highest quality ingredients which is why, along with everything being made in-house, he insists on farm-fresh products and USDA Prime cuts. “We not only fly our seafood in daily but it’s the ‘top

of the catch’ so it’s the freshest of the day,” O’Brien said. Chef’s Recommendations: Lobster Bisque served with a sweet corn fritter along with the Ahi Tuna Tartare to start. For the main course, either the Filet Mignon or Alaska Halibut prepared with lobster, gnocchi, spring peas and lemon jus. “You can cut our tenderloins with a fork. There’s no need for a knife,” O’Brien said. Top it off with 10 Layer Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing and pineapple syrup.

(Here are the last five of the Ten Commandments.) VI. Thou shall not drink (alcohol) too much Our website (Tailgatershandbook.com) has a section displaying how much you can drink and stay legal to drive. That blood alcohol count below .08 doesn’t always guarantee that you will be a good host or companion when you drink more than you should. Remember, no matter what you have heard, nobody likes a drunk! VII. Thou shall continually upgrade your gear It’s your duty to search for that item which will improve your tailgate party. This item or items can be anything that will make tailgating easier, faster, safer, warmer, prettier, less expensive etc. Review last year’s tailgating experiences and list the things that weren’t just right. Chances are that somebody has experienced your same problem and has invented or discovered an improvement. VIII. Thou shall prepare for emergencies Like a Boy Scout/Girl Scout – be prepared. There are many tailgate parties where emergencies arise. Have a first aid kit in case somebody gets cut or burned. Other more common emergencies are for dilemmas like no propane with which to cook, or no corkscrew to open the wine, or even no matches to light a fire. It is wise to carry a tackle box that has a bevy of things like duct tape, bungee cords, corkscrew, all-in-one pliers tool with all the attachments of a Swiss Army knife, packets of salt and pepper, a bottle opener, a can opener, and as many other items that you can think up. IX. Thou shall practice food safety Ecoli and Salmonella are dangerous and should be avoided by practicing good food safety. Remember to keep hot things hot and cold things cold. X. Thou shall tailgate after the game (or wait for the traffic to clear) After a game is no time to join the bumper-tobumper traffic for a grueling drive home. Just a

30-minute to one-hour short rest in the tailgate lot will allow even the most congested lots to clear and the highway traffic to resume normal speeds. When you pack up to go into the game, always think about your postgame tailgate. Leave enough chairs and easy-to-serve foods accessible so that they can be easily set up and enjoyed before the trek home. Our surveys have found that the average tailgater in America drives 71 miles one way to the game. So why not kick back, have a snack and visit? Here’s another warm-weather menu item that everyone loves. BLT Pasta Salad Ingredients: 14 oz. bag Pasta, 5 large tomatoes, finely chopped, 1 large green pepper, finely chopped, 1 lb. bacon (+ some), crumbled (precooked works great), 3/4 cup real or light mayonnaise, 1 t. salt (or to taste) Directions: Cook pasta in gently boiling water for approximately 6 minutes, until tender but firm. Drain and rinse with cold water. For tailgating, make pasta the night before. Toss cooked pasta lightly with olive oil, and store all veggies separately. Add veggies and bacon just before serving to maintain crispness. Serves 6-8.

SAKS FIFTh AVenue’S

At the gala, Carol Worcel, choreographer of “Swing,” enjoyed buffet and drinks with Michael Tavel, board president of Actors Theater of Indiana.

Jason and Laura Boyewsky enjoy the pre-show gala. Jason Boyewsky is vice-president of The National Bank of Indianapolis, a major sponsor of Civic Theatre.

Civic Theatre celebrates sponsors Commentary by Tonya Burton

Better than theatre in New York? Pulitzer Prize winner Booth Tarkington said as much, about 90 years ago referring to the production of one of his comedies by what is now known as the Civic Theatre. Interestingly, I overheard a similar comment on Sept. 5 as I took the elevator to the Knebel Room, where an appreciation party was held for major sponsors. A century ago, a few local citizens formed a volunteer community theatre in Indianapolis called The Little Theatre, where world renowned author, Tarkington, scripted several of the early plays. He was so impressed with the quality of the productions that he wrote to the publicity manager of The Little Theatre (the original name) that he considered the run of one of his comedies at the Little Theatre to be superior to the same play that ran on Broadway. In 1926, the organization was re-named the Civic Theatre. Through the years, the address of the theatre changed several times, including the grounds of the Indianapolis Arts Museum, to the campus of Marian College, to its present permanent home as a 500-seat proscenium theatre in the Tarkington at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Theatre-goers at this venue are rewarded with multi-faceted fare exhibited in the 2014-2015 season, beginning with the high energy performance of “Swing,” an all dance review. The re-

maining season runs the gamut from the serious play, “Golda’s Balcony”, about former Israeli Prime Minister, Golda Meir, to the seriously silly Monty Python romp, “Spamelot.” The popular theatre is supported by ticket sales, but relies heavily on private and corporate sponsorship to fund the costly business of theatre production. In appreciation of their sponsors, the Civic Theatre hosted a VIP Gala that included opening night tickets to “Swing.” Sponsors represented at the Gala included the The National Bank of Indianapolis, Barnes and Thornburg, Soho Café, Le Danse and Current.”Among those attending the pre-show VIP Gala included among many: Michael Tavel with Carol Worcel, choreographer of “Swing;” Jean Nichols, Kevin Mescall, Carol Phillips, Carl Conwell, Elizabeth Frost, and Evie Ham representing “Le Danse.” Arlana and Lee Clark were guests of Barnes and Thornburg. Vivian Lawhead represented the Soho Café. Larry Lawhead and Bob Reynolds represented Barnes and Thornburg. Jason and Laura Boyewsky represented the Bank of Indianapolis. Brian and Maggie Kelly and Dennis and Jill O’Malia represented Current. Doreen Squire Ficara attended with her friend Barbara Shields, who was visiting from Salisbury, England.

Retirement myths exposed

Commentary by Adam Cmeijla

“When I’m retired, I won’t really have to invest anymore.” Many people see retirement as finance an end instead of a beginning – a finish line for a career. In reality, retirement can be the start of a new and promising phase of life that could last a few decades. If you stop investing entirely, you can risk losing purchasing power; even moderate inflation can devalue the dollars you’ve saved. “My taxes will be lower when I retire.” You may earn less, and that could put you in a lower tax bracket. On the other hand, you may end up waving goodbye to some of the deductions and exemptions you enjoyed while working, and if you did a good job on saving the IRS may require you to take more out of your retirement accounts starting at age 70.5, thus

increasing your taxable income. So while your earned income may decrease, you may end up losing a comparatively larger percentage of it to taxes after you retire. “I started saving too late, I have no hope of retiring – I’ll have to work until I’m 85.” If your nest egg is less than six figures, working longer may be the best thing you can do. You will have X fewer years of retirement to plan for, so you can keep earning a salary, and your savings can compound longer. Don’t lose hope: remember that you can make larger, catch-up contributions to IRAs after 50. Adam Cmejla is president of Integrated Planning and Wealth Management, a financial services firm in Carmel providing comprehensive retirement planning strategies to individuals near or in retirement. He can be reached at 853-6777 or adam@integratedpwm.com.

The Sept. 4 Dancing With Our Stars Meals on Wheels event, that was held at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, raised more than $33,000, according to a press release from the committee for Meals on Wheels Hamilton Co.

This black tie optional event was loosely modeled after the popular ABC television show, Dancing with the Stars. Guests enjoyed appetizers and drinks as they watched the dancing. For more about Meals on Wheels, visit www. mealsonwheelshc.org.

Betty J. Carraway, age 85, went to be with Jesus, September 6, 2014. She was born November 8, 1928 in New Castle, Indiana and now rejoices with Joe and Bea Lindley.

Why do some people choose St.Vincent Carmel over other ER’s? Maybe it’s because we not only have average wait times of less than 20 minutes, but we also offer some of the area’s friendliest and most compassionate care. Which explains why we’ve been named an Emergency Center of Excellence—the only one in central Indiana—multiple times.

Those left behind to cherish her memory include her four children, Brenda Martz (Eric), Steve Carraway (Pam), Mark Carraway (Christie) and Joanna Post (David); ten dearly loved grandchildren and three great grandchildren. A family service will be held on Friday, September 12, 2014. Shared joy is double joy, shared sorrow is half sorrow.

The next time you experience a health emergency, think fast. And choose St.Vincent Carmel for care that’s been repeatedly recognized as one of the best in the nation.

Betty’s family would like to thank the caregivers at Prairie Lakes Health Campus for their loving care. Arrangements are entrusted to Hinsey-Brown Funeral Service in New Castle. Condolences and memories of Betty may be shared at www.hinsey-brown.com.

Gum Likely due to heightened competition from mints and candies, chewing gum sales have dipped 11 percent over the past four years, the Associated Press reported. The editorial board of the News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., for one, weighed in that it is wonderful that gum sales are down in the gutter, sniffing, “Gum-chewing doesn’t do us any favors, making us look like cows chewing our cud. For humans, that’s not a good look.” Cupcakes Well, it looks like many of us at least have stopped buying the pricey “gourmet” variety of cupcakes. That’s the conclusion to be drawn with the collapse of Crumbs, the 65-store chain that shut down abruptly in early July. Source: Brad Tuttle of Money Magazine

Cereal This year, cereal sales are down seven percent, with Kellogg’s cereal sales down 10 percent. One Wall Street Journal report noted this could be because consumers are more apt nowadays to turn to yogurt or fast food in the morning, and they’re less likely to have time to eat breakfast at home at all, not even if it’s a simple bowl of cereal. Soda The crash of soda. diet soda in particular, has been years in the making, with consumers increasingly turning to energy drinks, flavored water and other beverages instead of the old carbonated caffeine drink of choice. The latest Wall Street report from Coca-Cola showed that the soda giant missed estimates, partly because sales of Diet Coke in North America fell in the “mid-single digits.”

One of the most visible sites along the I-69 corridor will soon change. The Community Health Network Foundation owns real estate an 8.9-acre parcel of land on the corner of 82nd Street and Shadeland Avenue that is currently the leased site of the Hilton Indianapolis North. The foundation has exercised its right of first refusal to purchase the hotel from the current Hilton franchisee, and Community Health Network will reclaim the valuable land for future use by Community’s North Region. A management

company will be hired to operate the hotel in the interim period, with closure expected to occur by the end of 2014. A team of leaders from Community’s North Region will begin planning for how the 8.9 acres will be redeveloped to meet the future needs of physicians and patients. “The opportunity for the foundation to purchase the Hilton came at a perfect time,” said Joyce Irwin, president of the Community Health Network Foundation. The former Community Hospitals of Indiana, Inc. originally purchased substantial acreage in this Castleton corridor in 1981.

If you are like me, you have started spending the weekends at your kid’s sporting events. Our 9-year-old son and 6-year-old nutrition daughter are both playing soccer through S.P.O.R.T.S here in Fishers and opening day was one of the hottest days we have had all summer. As team parent for my daughter’s first grade soccer team I helped organize snacks for our team. As I did this I started to think about all of the snacks my kids have received after their games. In past years I have seen doughnuts, cookies, chips, candy and other high sugar snacks given out after games. These types of foods are OK sometimes but refueling our kids after a long game is not the place. Obviously I am all for kids participating in sports but the types of food we feed them before and after are important. So what is a good nutritional snack prior to that soccer or football game? Give your kids something with carbohydrates 1-2 hours before their sporting event. Try cereals, yogurts, whole wheat crackers or pretzels. If your child needs something mid game, fruit will help rehydrate

them as well as give them some much needed energy. For those post-game snacks, aim for something that provides protein along with carbohydrates to restore their energy supply and get them ready for whatever comes next in their day. Some ideas for good refueling snacks are fruit, cheese sticks, trail mix, or whole wheat crackers with peanut butter. For something different like sweet potato chips or healthier granola bars, try visiting Good Earth at Hamilton Town Center for some healthier options. As a parent of children with food allergies, you want to always check with other team parents to make sure that you are providing something all the kids can eat safely. One last thing, the best rehydrating drink for kids playing a 60 minute or less sport is water. Milk or even chocolate milk make a great post game drink too. Kathleen M.

Talking about yourself

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I was recently tasked with giving an impromptu lesson on pronouns, and I thought that you, my dear readers, should grammar guy enjoy the benefits of my grammatical ranting. The topic of the day: Reflexive pronouns; or, how to talk about yourself. Myself is a reflexive pronoun. Along with other reflexive pronouns like himself, herself, ourselves and yourself, myself is used to refer back to a previous word in the sentence. In the case of myself, it’s the word I. Reflexive pronouns are most commonly seen in two cases: when the subject and object are the same person or thing (including objects of prepositional phrases), and as intensive pronouns. How about some examples for the good of the order, then? Consider this: “John and myself went to the movies.” Incorrect! But why? It’s incorrect because the reflexive pronoun has

nothing to refer to. The correct word to use in that sentence would be the subject pronoun I. We can fix this, though. What’s a movie without a snack, am I right? Let’s say that when John and I go to the movies, we buy ourselves some popcorn. Now John and I are the subjects of the sentence, as we should be, but we’re also the indirect objects – the people receiving the action, which, in this case, is the purchase of delicious popcorn. To wrap it all up, if you think myself might be appropriate, take a look back at the rest of the sentence. Have you already used the word I? Are you talking about or trying to emphasize something you’re doing? If so, myself could be called for. If not, the word you’re probably looking for is me.

Commentary by Don Knebel

Strolling along the wide sidewalks of Avenue Champs-Élysées, visitors to Paris can enjoy the architectural charms of a city travel that seems to have avoided the sterile high rises of other major cities. Paris has not avoided those buildings, but instead has consigned them to a unique area anchored by a precisely located arch. The Champs-Élysées follows the “Historic Axis” or “Triumphal Way,” an imaginary line passing through the Louvre¸ the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. After World War II, Parisian city planners decided to try to preserve the traditional appearance along the Historic Axis by encouraging new construction in La Défense, a five square mile area several kilometers northwest of the Arc de Triomphe. When the Tour Montparnasse, a 59-story skyscraper now deemed the second ugliest building in the world, was completed in the Left Bank area in 1973, Parisians were so incensed they passed a law requiring that buildings taller than seven stories be limited to La Défense, named for a statue honoring French soldiers. Restricting tall buildings to La Défense did not solve the problem to the satisfaction of all

Parisians. The incongruous collection of glass and steel buildings could still be seen from atop the Arc de Triomphe. The solution involved building a massive Grand Arche at the center of La Défense, positioned on the Historic Axis and connoting continuity with Parisian history. The Grande Arche was also situated on the imaginary axis that runs through the Eiffel Tower from the infamous Tour Montparnasse. The Grande Arche, which is actually an office building, is 361 feet tall, 348 feet wide and 364 deep and includes an opening said to be large enough to accommodate Notre Dame Cathedral. La Défense, once home to small restaurants and artists’ studios, has become one of the most important business centers in the world. More than 70 modern buildings, up to 50 stories high, house 1500 corporate headquarters, including those of 15 of the world’s 50 largest companies. Each year, about eight million tourists come to La Défense. The 60 million other visitors to Paris can pretend it doesn’t exist.

Holy crêpe: A colorful city of sweets

Commentary by Lana Bandy

For many, one of the small pleasures of travel is experiencing new cuisines. For those with a sweet tooth, Paris should be a travel destination of choice. Two of Paris’ favorite treats – macarons and crêpes – have taken hold in the Indianapolis area, and it’s easy to see why. A macaron is a small, delicate French confection. It’s not the coconut “macaroon” you knew as a child, rather a sweet double-decker, meringue-based cookie. Made of egg whites, lots of sugar, ground almond (or almond powder) and food coloring, the macaron has a jam or ganache filling. It could be consider an Oreo with class. In Paris, macarons are everywhere. They are sold in bakeries, convenience stores, grocery stores and even McDonald’s. One special bakery in Paris, the elegant Ladurée, has been making macarons for 150 years. They sell more than 15,000 macarons a day and offer many flavors, from traditional raspberry, lemon and chocolate, to coffee and pistachio. Sales of the two-bite treats, which are more than $1 per bite, are soaring, but they are not nearly as well know in the U.S. as another French staple, the crêpe. This treat is made of a pancake-like batter (consisting of flour, eggs, milk and butter) that ends up as flat as a soft tortilla shell. The fillings are sweet – the basic “sucre” (sugar), banana, nutella (hazelnut spread)

NOW OPEN! Mon. - Fri. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat. 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

or lemon – or savory – the ever-popular ham and cheese. In Paris, it’s the perfect snack, meal or dessert. Tourists can watch crepe-making pros on the street or order crepes from a snack bar, a corner bistro or a five-star restaurant. Regardless of the

venue or filling, a Parisian crêpe is a treat that won’t soon be forgotten. Lana Bandy is co-editor of The Current’s puzzle page and a columnist for Carmel Business Leader. She may be reached at lcbandym@yahoo.com.

“The first rule of decoration is that you can break almost all the other rules.” – Billy Baldwin Excuse me Billy but it dedecorating pends which rules you want to break! If you want to take Billy’s advice and eschew decorating rules, make sure you are throwing out the arbitrary ones such as “don’t mix warm color with cool” or “use light colors in small spaces” I say have at it. Break away! Get wild and crazy! There is, however, a class of rules that can bend only so far before they snap. These are design principles and they are based more on geometry than on opinion. When these “rules” are ignored, you will most likely feel that there is something amiss with a space. You might not be able to verbalize just what the problem is, but it is almost certain that a rule has been broken. The basic design principles are balance, focus, harmony, proportion, and rhythm. Balance: You are more likely to feel if a room is unbalanced than see it. Balance simply refers to the visual equilibrium of a room that is achieved by how objects are placed according to visual weight. Shape, color and texture all help to determine their visual weight. Focus: This refers to the direction the eye travels and remains as it first enters a space. More

than one focal point in a room makes it quite uncomfortable as there is no place for the eye to rest. Harmony: This is achieved when the elements of a room work together to form a visually pleasing combination. Harmony in interior design is achieved by having a connection. This unity can be defined as a design thread that tells a story from one element to another. Proportion: Ah, Proportion and his best friend Scale . This is something the real estate agent fails to mention when showing you a home with a two story great room. Technically, proportion refers to how the elements within an object relate to the object as a whole while scale relates to the size of an object compared to the space in which it is located. Rhythm: The rhythm of a room controls the visual flow around a room. Rhythm allows the eyes to move around from one object to another and creates a harmonious atmosphere in a room A well designed home that incorporates these elements is not unlike the paints that an artist uses in the creation of a breathtaking work of art … each color and brushstroke plays off another color within the guidelines of design principle. The result is a warm, inviting space for living. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in Carmel.

Creating a basement apartment for family member Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BASEMENT: This home is located in the Brittany Chase subdivision in Zionsville. After moving from sunny blueprint for Florida to be closer improvement to family, the mother needed her own space in her daughter’s home. The main goal of the project was to create a living space separate from the rest of the house to give her complete independence and privacy. KITCHEN & LAUNDRY AREA: The unfinished storage area provided room for a full kitchen & laundry room. The kitchen features two-toned cabinetry, LED under-cabinet lighting, a marble subway tile backsplash, high-end appliances and quartz countertops. Using the condensed space, upper cabinets were eliminated to save space for an art collection and an antique armoire served as a food pantry. The laundry room features cabinets painted Ocean Blue as a reminder of the Florida beaches. COZY LIVING AREA: “Even though there are many windows, it still felt like a basement. I really wanted the space to feel cozy, not like I’m living in a basement.” To accomplish this, horizontal ceiling beams were installed. A gas fireplace gives the room a warm feel. “Golden White Quartzite” was used for the fireplace stone surround and hearth. MASTER BATHROOM/BEDROOM DETAILS: A

before & after

top priority with the design of the master bathroom was to ensure the bathroom fixtures were simple and easy-to-clean. “I knew I wanted a tile floor so I selected large 12 inch by 24 inch tiles to minimize the amount of grout to clean.” Complementing the floor tile, simple 3 inch x 6 inch white subway tiles were selected for the shower walls. Chrome fixtures including the plumbing fixtures, shower door and vanity lighting gave the room a cohesive and classic look. Chandeliers were hung in both the bedroom and closet giving the spaces an elegant and timeless flair.

RESULT: “Everything came together just as I imagined it. I love the coziness of my new home and the independence I feel even though I am steps away from family.”
